Finding forever homes for retired racers.

On Florida

To our followers and the greyhound community, we want you to know that we will be assisting to place the many dogs who will be displaced due to the vote in Florida. At the moment we are in the planning stages. Working with the folks in the greyhound industry and with other adoption groups to coordinate the task at hand. We will need help from you, our community. We will need foster homes, and more foster homes. The more places we have to host dogs, the more dogs we can help. If you aren't currently a foster home, and would like to be, please fill out our adoption application and note that you're wanting to help the Florida dogs - ignore the application fee: Adoption Application

Can't foster, but want to help? Let us know what you can/will do. Be specific, what skills and abilities do you have?

Stay tuned. In the coming days, weeks, and months we will know better what we need.

Donate

We rely on donations to support the entire adoption process from vetting to microchips.

Filling out an application is the first step to finding your new family member.

“We wouldn’t have met the two most amazing Greyhounds in the world, Flynn & Maggie, without Heartland Greyhound Adoption. They are a wonderful organization that puts the best interest of the dogs ahead of anything else. We are grateful for all their hard work and dedication to the breed.”

Sarah Ryan

“There are many wonderful greyhound adoption groups, but for me, Heartland stands just a little bit taller mainly because of all the good foster work they do to make sure that whenever a hound is placed permanently with a family, that dog will likely have found their “forever” home. Kudos!”

Barb Biffle Bennett

“HGA genuinely cares about every dog that comes to them. Since we’ve adopted our greyhound, HGA has been a second family to us.”
